Slovan Bratislava fans appear to have clashed with Celtic supporters and police en route to Parkhead tonight.
Fans of the Slovakian team were marched from Glasgow city centre to the stadium in the east end by a hefty police presence.
On their way, it appears that a handful of fans were involved in an altercation with Hoops supporters in the beer garden of a pub, as officers desperately tried to stop any trouble and defuse tensions.
Footage widely shared on social media appears to show some of the travelling support breaking free from the police barrier outside McChuills on Saltmarket High Street.
A Union Jack flag could be seen in the crowd of hundreds of Slovan fans.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
